California Trump voters reflect on the state of the nation

10:57

What's it like to be a red dot in a blue state? Kern County, California, voted decisively for Donald Trump, drawn in part to his message as the candidate for 'the forgotten man' and his anti-liberal rhetoric and promises of deregulation and lower taxes.

We visit the town to find out how people feel about President Trump, the nation's future and why they think there is a divide between rural conservatives and urban liberals.
